Do the outdrive slots have any raised burrs on them from dogbone wear? That can make the bearings hard to press over the outdrive.
The outdrives got a quick freshening with a small file for any burrs, and a super quick polishing for surface rust....

I slipped a shim in there (after I put in the shim I missed on the idler shaft) and it took out most of the movement. While I had the gearbox apart it definitely looks like that is the side where the gears line up best.
